How to stop a garnishment of taxes from a collection agency?
I entered into a loan and purchased a used vehicle in 2008 from a dealership. I defaulted in 03/09 due to unexpected 2nd spinal surgery in which the vehicle was under repossession. The vehicle never was found. Summons to appear in court 02/10 and was allowed by the loan agency to continue regular monthly payments starting 03/10. I make regular monthly payments to the debt collection company for the loan agency. I received a “Writ for Garnishment” for taxes (income tax refund/credit). I went to court and picked up an “Objection to Garnishment. Can you advise?
